Recall that in February, former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry found it “weird” that Kelechi’s team mates were muted in their reaction to his equalizing goal in their 2-1 defeat against Tottenham.

“I know you have to go and get the ball back [to ensure a quick restart with the score level at 1-1 at the time]but no one went to celebrate with Iheanacho,” Henry told Sky Sports.

“That’s something that, I don’t know… you scored a goal, go and celebrate with the guy. ‘Let’s go, get the ball back’. No one went to celebrate with him. He was in the corner there.

“I think Vincent Kompany went with him and someone else but that’s it. Maybe I’m reading too much between the lines about that Man City team, but no one went to celebrate with him, that’s a bit weird.”
